This is a weird Day indeed. Or then I just manage to read things in totally different way...

Firstly all those counterfactual oddities in which I see no sense for either an ordo or a wolf to say (Shasta and the towel, Menel referring to me saying Rikae talks nonsense, Gwatha not "knowing" how many wolves there are, what is the deadline...).

Secondly people backtracking or reinterpreting themselves in a hurry, like Greenie and Mac. Now what do I mean by that? I'll try to say it short and clear if I can.

Greenie made jokes to Sally and promised to "give a tight eye to her" but after being suspected on making serious suspicions on weak grounds she goes on to "admit" she had made them because she had read Sally carelessly. So why didn't she just say it was a joke as it clearly was one?

Mac's suggestion that we should look at those who try to avoid "rubbing people the wrong way" or those trying to be uncontroversial is all fine and dandy. It is a most reasonable stance indeed. But then suddenly everyone is talking about schemes to try and lure the wolves into being controversial and Mac behaving oddly - even Mac himself does it. Now am I the only only one who thinks this is fishy indeed? Why did Mac back away from a most reasonable position into this scheming-thingy after being suspected?

Maybe I'm just reading things in some warped way...

There are many whom I should take a closer look as they clearly have flown under my radar but I need to go shopping. I wil be back before deadline though.

And just to add... taking the feelings / intuition stuff in as well I do share Mac's bad feeling about Aganzir. I hope I can elaborate that when I come back.

EDIT: x'd with Mac
